Hawks Agree to Acquire Wiggins From Thunder, AP Source Says. They Also Extend McCollum
- On Sunday, the Oklahoma City Thunder traded reserve guard Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks for two second-round picks: Atlanta's 2030 selection and the least favorable 2032 pick of the Hawks/Lakers.
- The Thunder executed the trade to alleviate a roster crunch and reduce their projected luxury tax penalty from $213 million to $152 million, as Oklahoma City faced 15 players under contract.
- Wiggins, 27, joins Atlanta using an $11 million trade exception created during the Luke Kennard deal, bringing versatile depth and improved perimeter defense to the Hawks' bench.
- The transaction is expected to be finalized on July 6 because the Hawks are $9.1 million under the first apron hard cap, bolstering the bench for Atlanta's postseason push.
- Entering Tuesday's NBA Draft with selections at Nos. 12 and 17, the Thunder now manage their roster more flexibly while the Hawks pursue long-term development in the Eastern Conference.
